Ron, I have read most of the articles you shared.
The main point that I see of the article is that changing the database prefix doesn't improve the security as there is a way for hackers to identify the changed database prefix, and changing it on a live site might cause issues.
However, if the hacker or a bot does not know the way to detect the new database prefix, changing it improves makes it more work for them to hack your site.
The idea is to auto-generating a random WordPress database prefix when the new application is created so that people do not need to try to change it on a live site.
In my opinion, there is still a benefit to changing the database prefix.
